C# Generic Methods

In this chapter you will learn:

1. What are Generic Methods
2. Example generic method

Description

A generic method declares type parameters within the signature of a method.

With generic methods, many algorithms can be implemented in a general-purpose way.

Example

Here is a generic method that swaps two values of any type:

static void Swap<T> (ref T a, ref T b)
{// w  ww.  j a  v  a  2 s. c  om
 T temp = a;
 a = b;
 b = temp;
}

Swap<T> can be used as follows:

int x = 5;
int y = 10;
Swap (ref x, ref y);
